Since the pranava, which is a part of the udgitha, is introduced as the subject of meditation in the first prapathaka of the Chandogya, and extends over the later vidyas also, it is appropriate to assume that also in the clause 'the gods took the udgitha' which stands in the middle the term udgitha denotes the pranava.
The conclusion from all this is that in the Chandogya the object of meditation is constituted by the pranava there termed udgitha viewed under the form of prana; while in the Vajasaneyaka the term udgitha denotes the whole udgitha, and the object of meditation is he who produces the udgitha, i.e. the udgatri, viewed under the form of prana. And this proves that the two vidyas are separate.
""'Soma said, "The Brahmanas become crowned with success through their penances. Their strength consists in speech. The prowess of persons belonging to the kingly order resides in their arms. The Brahmanas, however, have speech for their weapons. Undergoing the discomforts of a residence in the abode of his preceptor, the Brahmana should study the Vedas or at least the Pranava.
